CAUT blasts Bladen Report 


OTTAWA (CUP)—The Canadian

in a brief to governments sph 
out of the Bladen Report, has 
a more advanced) stand on wiident

Students

for a comprehensive system of gov- 
ernment grants for students, 
pong both fees and living costs.

for basing its enrolment predic- 
tions on present patterns of un- 
equal opportunity, and says, “con- 
Servatism in the forecasts is linked 
to conservatism in the policy aims.” 

Showing marked concern for 
university autonomy, the yy 
advocates provincial grants com- 
mittees, with strong academic rep- 
popnisions to stand between gov- 
ernments and universities, but says 
this is a enough to ensure auto- 
nomy. 

Therefore, it recommends in- 
direct support from governments 
through student grants, retaining 

fee system and reducing the 

amount of direct grants to univer- 
Sities. 

All properly enrolled students 


would receive payments of speci- 
fied sums directly from the gov- 


ernment. 

The CAUT brief presents statis- 
tics showing that 62 per cent of the 
total cost of a student’s education 
is born directly by the Student and

it’s your world. 


These countries have a lot in common. Every one is 
no place for you if all you have to offer is lofty 
ideals. These are countries that need realists—people 
who are ready to get down to work. And come down 
to earth. Literally. Don’t kid yourself... signing up 
with this outfit will mean slugging it out through a 
tough, demanding job. That’s the only way you'll fill 
the needs of these countries. And who knows, maybe 
you'll have a few of your own filled. What is ‘CUSO? 
It’s a national agency created to develop and pro- 
mote overseas service opportunities for Canadians. Prgit 
It arranges for the placement of qualified men 
and women in countries that request their 
services. If you’re sent to a country it’s be- 
cause they’ve asked for you. Or someone . 
like you. How does CUSO work? Abroad, it 
works through different international agencies 
who all assist in the placement of personnel. 
In Canada it works through local co-ordinating 
committees, located in most universities, but serv- 


ing the whole community. What kind of people are 
needed? People with something to offer. People with 


‘things like knowing how to teach mathematics or grow 


wheat, how to clean a wound or build a bridge. These 
countries need people who are adaptable and mature. 
People with initiative. People who can earn respect, and 
give it. Think about it for a minute. You'll know what 
you have to. offer. What is the selection procedure like? 
Tough. Because we don’t believe in sending underdevel- 


oped people to underdeveloped countries. Preliminary 
screening is carried out, where possible, by local 
» committees. CUSO then nominates candidates 
to governments and agencies requesting per- 
sonnel, who make the final selection. CUSO 
also makes arrangements for preparatory and 
orientation courses. How do you apply? Com- 
plete two copies of the personal information 
form which you can get from local CUSO repre- 
sentatives at any Canadian university, or from

U N assembly 
debates war, 
population 


The United Nations Model 
General Assembly was held last 
weekend on campus, with members 
from the University of Saskatch- 
ewan, UAC, United College (Win- 
nipeg), and the U of A participat- 
ing. 


Two. resolutions, concerning 
Vietnam and population, were de- 
bated and passed with substantial 
majorities. 

The first resolution, introduced 
by Sweden; dealt with the war in 
Vietnam. The resolution advocat- 
ed an immediate cease-fire, an 
appointed trucé commission, and 
negotiation of a permanent truce, 
with provision for withdrawal of 
all foreign troops. 


There were several viewpoints 
on the war. The USSR took the 
view that since the war is a war 
of national liberation, the only way 
to achieve peace is by implement- 
ing the Geneva agreements. 
Canadian delegation felt the war 
is not a domestic problem, but sub- 
version is the key cause of strife. 

The delegation proposed an 
amendment, g the Truce 
Commission under United Nations 
auspices. The proposal was ac- 
cepted. 

The resolution on population was 
introduced by India, the world’s 
second most populous nation. The 
resolution was rather nebulous in 
its proposals, as part of it read “. 
that every nation as it deems “fit 
institutes a program of population 
control, which may include dis- 
semination of birt 1 in- 
formation and contraceptives to 
the populace .. . 

The resolution was passed 21-5.

Schoeck calls More 


‘Christian 


activist’ 


‘Man must understand the forces and traditions shaping his 
society if he hopes to adapt and survive in the crisis-ridden age 


in which we are living. 


A noted Canadian scholar point- 
fo) anities’ role in pro- 
viding “accessibility to the patterns 
and lessons of our past” in the first 
Christian Culture lecture Friday. 


Dr. Richard J. Schoeck, head of 
the English department at U of T’s 
St. Michael’s College, developed the 
theme; “Thomas More; Humanist 
cad ane World,” at a lecture sponsor- 

d by St. Joseph’s College. 


ike described More as a Christian 
activist in an era of social crisis. 


“More Anion the Christian’s 
mandate to get out of the mona- 
stery and into the city which was 
the new bi alps milieu of the lay- 
man,” 


“Asa ep Nn: Humanist, More 
saw the need for a radical social 
change to prevent the crushing of 
human personality beneath a sys- 
tem which was inimical to human 
values,” Dr. Schoeck said. 


“Utopia” was More’s attempt to 
present the actualization of 
rational and humane society ruled 
by scholars. 


It combined indignation at man’s 
failure with a hope for future con- 
science ely the problems of the 
world, he sai 


Other features of More’s thoughts 

include: 

® perception of pride as the great- 
est corruption of Christianity 

@unwavering allegiance to free- 
dom of individual conscience 

®@belief in the duty of the layman 
to transcend worldliness 

@faith in reason to attack the 
world’s problems 

®@trust in tolerant internationalism 

@insistence on a versatile Christ- 
ianity able to meet the challenges - 
of the changing times. 


Dr. Schoeck said the Humanist’s 
accent on learning and a versatile 
education has been a valuable con- 
tribution to our cultural tradition. 


He outlined the evolution of the 
concept of human liberty and dig- 
nity from the early Humanists’ in- 
sight into man’s opportunity for ra- 
tional choice in an ordered uni- 


Dr. Schoeck claimed this “double 


vision” led the Humanists to a more ~ 


profound perspective of man in the 
world, with significant 
quences for the Christian tradition 
since the Renaissance. 

Thomas More was “a man for all 
seasons,” he told the audience.

toward understanding 


The inability of party politics 
to attract responsible and dedi- 
cated student participants from 
the university community was a 
cause for concern at the recent Pro- 
gressive Conservative convention in 
Calgary. Lawrence Portigal, past 
president of the provincial Progres- 
sive Conservative Student Federa- 
tion, told delegates that party poli- 
tical clubs neither mean nor stand 
for anything, and there is no com- 
munion of beliefs, ideas, or aims 
among members of the organiza- 
tions. 

This lack of participation, both on 
the part of the parent parties and 
the students, will likely be demon- 
strated in the upcoming model par- 
liament on this campus 

Hopefully, the youth. provide the 
party with an influx of new ideas 
and talent important in the shap- 
ing of policy and the operation of 
the party. This, unfortunately, is 
not the case at present, although 


a new dimension 


A recent study of education in Al- 
berta reveals a new dimension of 
the concept of universal accessibility 
to post-secondary education. 


Dr. Andrew Stewart’s report foc- 
uses on the problem of proximity— 
both in geographic terms and in 
terms of the student’s cultural and 
psychological separation from a uni- 
versity located in a distant city. The 
radical change from the personal 
and intimate milieu of the high 
school to the coldly impersonal uni- 
versity lecture theatre with its de- 
humanizing and alienating methods 
of mass education causes the stu- 
dent to question the quality of the 
education he is receiving. 


The Canadian Union of Students’ 
campaign for universal accessibility 
has emphasized removal of tuition 
fees and other financial barriers— 
without questioning the nature of 
the institutions to which we demand 
equal access. It is time to examine 
the mass lecture, the mass assign- 
ment and the mass exam. 

The failure rate in first-year uni- 
versity is an obvious indication of 
the inability of the present system to 
provide the necessary transitional 
experience between high school and 
university. Dr. Stewart’s proposals 
for decentralization of post-second- 
ary education by the creation of dis- 
trict colleges are worthy of serious 
consideration by university and gov- 
ernment officials, in view of the 


“need to encourage a far larger pro- 


portion of the younger generation to 
continue their education after high 
school. 


there are undoubtedly students who 
make valuable individual contribu- 
tions. 

If the model parliament and stu- 
dent political activity are to be re- 
vitalized, steps must be taken to at- 
tract both the activist and the aca- 
demic type of student, and to ex- 
amine social, and not just political 
problems. 

To this end, Mr. Portigal made a 
valuable suggestion. The structure 
of model parliament, he said, should 
be altered to deal with only a single 
important theme each year. This 
way, each party could do meaning- 
ful research into several aspects of 
the problem. Education is one ob- 
vious example of such a question 
that could be dealt.with in depth. 

This would prevent the rehashing 
of uninteresting themes, and would 
allow all parties to make a valuable 
contribution to the understanding 
and solution of current political 
problems. 


Even more regrettable than the 
loss of students who fail to adjust to 
the new learning situation, is the 
waste in both human and economic 
terms of those students for whom the 
educational experience in high 
school is so empty that they do not 
even consider further education. Im- 
plementation of Dr. Stewart’s recom- 
mendations, with exercises of cau- 
tion to prevent the emasculation of 
the courses offered, will be an im- 
portant step to increase interest in 
higher education at the community 
level. 

Dr. Stewart’s proposal to make 
adult’ education and _ terminal 
courses for students uninterested in 
university central to the multiversity 
program, is a commendable effort to 
increase the education level of our 
society—which was so strongly urg- 
ed by the recent report of the Econ- 
omic Council of Canada. 

The tendency to turn these insti- 
tutions into  pseudo-vocational 
schools with an occupational orient- 
ation should be avoided. In an era 
which has transcience as its domin- 
ant feature, our educational policies 
should be to develop individuals with 


a sufficiently flexible and versatile 


educational background to prepare 
them for the rapid technological and 
social changes of today. 

These institutions must offer div- 
ersified educational programs which 
are sufficiently open ended to pre- 
pare the individual for a world in 
which learning must be a continuing 
process 

There are already enough blind 
alleys in our educational system.

when. the 
telephone rings 


by don sellar 
Welcome to this public university, 
where the best of men’s minds are 
devoted to an honest search for :truth. 


honest glimpse of this so-called public 
institution. 

Last week, this mewspaper pub- 
lished a story about a tenure battle 
which has been raging within our uni- 
versity for a full month. We feel the 
subject is one of interest to the whole 
academic community, partly because 
it involves the status of faculty mem- 
bers, whose essential task it is to foster 
dialogue within our walls 

not expect this story to 
arouse much interest outside the uni- 
versity because the outside world is 
not directly involved by what happens 
to the two professors who have been 
denied tenure. 1! felt and still feel, 
however, that a campus newspaper 
should concern itself with university 
affairs, however unpleasant or dis- 
tasteful they may be. 

e@ e @ 

The story we published indeed has 
created a great amount of interest 
among our readership, who are now 
able to read the things which they 
heard previously as ‘’backstairs gos- 
sip,” The office telephone has been 
ringing continuously since Wednes- 
day, and each time it rings, my faith 
in the university community shrinks 
a bit. 

It seems that a campus newspaper 
is not supposed to concern itself with 
controversial and important matters 
such as student-faculty relations, uni- 
versity planning or the financing of 
post-secondary education in this pro- 
vince. After all, we are a house or- 
gan, which persons such as officials 
of the staff association can ignore un- 
til they wish to give us some free ‘’ad- 
vice’’ about what we shall print and 
what we shall hold back. 

But the staff association official and 
other persons who gave their advice 
so freely last week have been a little 
late. Perhaps a few years ago, they 
could have made a telephone call and 
killed a story-or an editorial or a letter 
to the editor 

But not now. 


Not now because this is a newspaper 
which is trying to deal honestly and 
candidly in ideas and trying to tell the 
truth about what is going on at the 
university. If our callers had bother- 
ed to read:our newspaper before last 
week, they would have noticed that 
campus social events are receiving less 
and less coverage and issues affecting 
the university's reputation and future 
are being ‘’played up. 

@ e 


If our callers had bothered to come 
and have a chat with our senior edit- 
ors and staff, or had bothered to get 
to know me last fall, their words 
would have been treated as those o 
friends, not censors. These persons 
have not been able to find any gross 
inaccuracies in the Williamson-Mur- 
ray tenure story; and any minor er- 
rors which have so far appeared are 
due to conflicting opinions about ten- 
ure—an aspect of university affairs 
which few persons know very much 
about. 

They have tried to keep material 
out of the newspaper, and have sug- 
gested that public discussion of an is- 
sue affecting everyone connected with 
the university is going to influence the 
private discussions being carried on 
between the faculty and the admini- 
stration. 

@ e 

Let's ong kid ourselves. This mat- 
ter is one which should receive public ° 
discussion within the university com- 
munity. It should not be aired as 
common gossip. Surely adult human 
beings of the type which frequent a 
university will not be unduly influenc- 
ed by newspaper reports when it comes 
time to discuss solution through com- 
promise. 

This newspaper will continue to 
publish anything and everything it 
can find out about the controversial 
tenure case, including all the letters 
it receives on the issue. We are 
pledged to do this, just as we are 
pledged to take an interest in any 
other matter affecting the university’s 
well-being. 

And the persons who have been har- 
rassing our editors and staff for a full 
week had better take full cognizance 
of this fact. before they telephone 
again.

a plea 
To The Editor: 
member of the philosophy 
department, | wish to make it plain 
that | have authorized no one to act 


as a spokesman in my behalf, and 
that the only official voice of our 
department is the head, Professor 
Mardiros, in whom | have complete 
confidence. 

Second, the cases of SoA oe 
Murray and Wiliamson have bee 
handled in ABetoush 
The procedures followed 
involved two sittings of the one 
committee, a hearing before the 
Academic Staff fe per fat in- 
terviews by the De of the Arts 
Faculty with its member of the 
Philosophy Department. In addi- 
tion, written testimony was obtained 
from persons no longer at the Uni- 
versity, 

Third, in their cases, as is usual 
considerations 


criteria were emp 
ing ability, (2) Ui a (3) se 
vice to the University. One should 
keep this fact in mind, and in the 
absence of exact and reliable in- 
formation one should be cautious 
about accepting informal reports on 
what factors were decisive in their 
cases. 
ourth, it is absolutely untrue 
that anyone else is leaving the De- 
partment because Professors Murray 
mson not receiving 
tenure. As is normal in a depart- 
ment of our size some men will not 
be here next year, but in every 
instance their departure will be in 
connection with plans made prior to, 
and independently of, this situation. 
The rest of us are staying 
Fifth, although it oti have been 
pleasanter for all concerned if things 
were not as they are at the moment, 
| can see no real or permanent dam- 
age to the Department. Everyone 
has a right to his feelings, and at a 
time like this emotions. can 
pretty high; but dire predictions 
about the future of the Department, 
however understandable as expres- 


sions of personal sympathy, are 
hardly acceptable as reasoned 
‘estimates. 


Finally, | urge everyone concern- 
ed to act decently and intelligently. 
For those who feel injustice has been 
perpetrated, there are responsible 
channels for further appeal; for 
those who are curious, there are 
accurate sources of information. To 
indulge in rumormongering and 
backstatre gossip is as useless as it 
is foolish—or worse

shocked 

To The Editor: 

| was shocked and dismayed 

when | learned through Gateway, 
that professor Colwyn Williamson of 
the department of philosophy has 
been denied tenure at this university 
for the coming term. Possible rea- 
sons for his dimissal have come to 


as having eh slight acquaintance 
with. the in, | would like to 
question ‘a validity of those reasons 
most commonly proposed. - 
Officially, | believe, tenure cases 


are decided primarily on two grounds 


—teaching ability and scholarship. 
It would be absurd to dismiss 

Williamson on these grounds in view 
of the fact that his approach to his 


subject matter is, among other 
things, most coherent, clear dnd 
concise. In his classes, no question 


was ever left unanswered, no ques- 
tioner had need to feel unsatisfied, 
his great ability to reply to questions 
on any matter pertaining, to the 
course—and his willingness to carry 
discussion beyond the limits of class 
time must rank well above that of 
the average lecturer on campus. 

It has been suggested that Pro- 
fessor Williamson 


true that no department should be 
forced to condone a person wine by 
his actions does more harm than 
pone but it does not seem miapetble 
that a man with so much to offer 
to students of philosophy, and who 
has such reliable qualifications to 
recommen im to us, coul e in 
the least detrimental to the operation 
of a good philosophy department. 

If it is true that he is a disruptive 
element, as is claimed, | say good; 
perhaps a little disruption will im- 
prove our department of philosophy. 
Disruptive elements are most often 
the elements of improvement, while 
complacency most often is the first 
step toward stagnation. 

In view of the above, and in view 
of the fact that Mr. Williamson is 
well liked by his students, that his 
teaching is highly respected and that 


ablest and most promising lecturers.

misleading 

To ie Editor: 

was somewhat misleading 
bie The Gateway, February 2nd, in 
an article on Professors Williamson’ s 
and Murray’s tenure denial, referred 
to the journalists’ source—or sources 
as: “the spokesman from depart- 
philosophy.*’ may 
have deluded some _ semantically 
naive reader to believe that The 
Gateway had been in contact with 
an officially appointed spokesman 
for the whole department (including 
Professor Mardiros! although | doubt 
it. It is probably more deceiving to 
that i 


deny the informants were 
spokesmen for the department, as 
this will tend to induce the im- 


Pression in the readers’ minds that 
a majority of the department dis- 
agrees with the interviewee. 

|, for one, aes with the general 
from a few fo mulation, eg. 
“Neither is tere any doubt in the 
minds of those who are petent, 
that both are able scholars’, which 
seems to insinuate that anyone who 
does not think so is eo ipso not 
competent. It would be more cor- 
rect to say that so far there is no 
one who has made an attempt to 
acquaint himself with the works of 
Williamson and Murray, who has not 
also found them to Ss competent 
scholars. 

In saison : case, this includes 
some of the eatest names in 
modern Bhitedook Neither do | 
know of more than one member of 
our department (except for Professor 
Mardiros and the non-tenure mem- 


ber of the tenure committee and 
myself), who has not either express- 
ed to the dean of Arts and to the 
tenure committee, or would be will- 
ing to do so here |: include 
Professor Ted Kemp), that Professors 
Wiliamson and Murray are superior 
to any one of them as scholars and/ 
or as teachers. 


Between the two sets of meetings 
of the tenure committee, Murray and 
Williamson were made to believe 
that tenure is granted or denied de- 
pendent upon teaching ability, and 
scholarly wor 


legitimate grounds to a question of 
compatibility; that in fact the whole 
question boiled

Murray. this is considered just

. lieve | can speak for a majority of 


faculty members and administrators 
at this university when | claim that 
something must be done with this 
tenure procedure and with this 
notion of “(in)just(ice)’. To top it 
all, it can be added that ie is at 
the most one member of o} 
partment (outside the iene: com- 
mittee) who would claim to have had 
any difficulties in getting along with 
Professors Murray and Williamson. 


It is absolutely untrue that no 
of our department has re-

Murray. 1 also

Buenent hea concensus 
seems to be that, since a Head as a 
rule gets his way in a tenure com- 
mittee, it is his moral responsibility 
to inform his colleagues of his in- 
tentions, in case his mind is set to 
do his best to sway the committee to 
deny these colleagues tenure. Wil- 
liansom an urray asked me on 
December 17th to try to find out 
what happened to their scheduled 
tenure committee. “Tell them not 
to worry’’ was the message | was to 
convey to them from Professor Mar- 
diros. Whatever the intentions may 
be behind this utterance, it can cer- 
tainly be said that were Professor 
Mardiros to attempt to communicate 
to Williamson and Murray that the 
outcome of the tenure committee 
was at least uncertain and that they 
should use their stay in New York 
to look for positions elsewhere, then 
the above quoted remark was a 
rather unhappy choice. 


Consequently, with no evidence to 
the contrary, | have been bound to 
conclude that both Professor Mar- 
diros and the administrators in- 
volved, have acted wrongly in deny- 
ing Murray and Williamson tenure 
—wrongly, that is, both in an ethic- 
ally relevant sense, and with a view 
to the future of our Department and 
this CREW

feeling SAE deen ty and gratitude to-

spite our different views in the 
tenure case at hand, and particularly 
if something is done to rectify the 
injustice prepared to offer Professor 
Mardiros my full co-operation, whole 
hearted support and unconditional 
loyalty in any attempt to salvage 
the wreckage of the philosophy de- 
partment and in building up a new 
Department and, particularly, a 
strong graduate programme.

denial 


To The Editor: 

In the Feb. 4 Gateway you have 
a news story on the denial of tenure 
to Professors Williamson and Murray 
of the philosophy department. In 
it you include a member of quot- 
ations purporting to come from an 
anonymous ‘‘department  spokes- 
man”’ This gives the impression 
that the “spokesmen’’ was speak- 
ing for members of the department 
other than himself. The under- 
signed members of the philosophy 
department wish to point out that 
such is not the case. 

The signers of this letter include 
all the members of the faculty of 
the department of phpilosophy-

wondering 

To The Editor: 

| hate to add to the already- 
considerable public gossip about 
internal affairs in the department of 
philosophy. Prudence and good 
taste clearly demand silence. How- 
ever, since at least two of my pro- 
fessors, with whom | disagree on the 
matter of professors Murray and 


Wililamson, have made public state-. 


ments and since | have an important 
hard fact to insert into a great 
morass of rumor, | am doing so. 

It is not true that no one in the 
department is leaving as a direct 
result of the dismissal of professors 
Murray and Williamson. 1! polled 
all the likely people last week and 
TWO professors and TWO students 
told me flatly that they were leav- 
ing as soon as other good ppsitions 
could be found. They are not doin 
so in protest, but for the sounder 
reason that the department of philo- 
sophy will be a less worthwhile place 
in which to teach and work if these 
two men go. 

Some members of the staff of the 
department cannot know this yet, 
because there are some members ‘to 
whom this cannot at present be an- 
In fact, one student who 
is now ‘leaving has made his views 
known though only to a select num- 
ber of the proper authorities. 

However, the imminent departure 
of one-third (and among them two 
of the most senior people, Murray 
and Williamson) of the department 
must not be allowed to overweigh 
the central issue: the worth of these 
two professors. 

Both men are first-rate teachers. 
Fifty-five of their students in a 
petition have attested to this. Both 
have read many papers at philo- 
sophical gatherings. And one of 
them has proved his work of publish- 
able quality, though both are under 
thirty years of age. As a student, 
it appears to me that both have been 
outstanding in their efforts to render 


service to the department and to the . 


whole university comm 
t has been stated many times 


4 


that proper tenure procedure has 
been followed. However, given that 

are good teachers, appear 
academically competent and appear 
to have given considerable ipa iy 
sometimes controversial, serv 
given that accurate information le 
proved almost impossible for oe 
dents at least to obtain, and given 
the high emotion that even studene 
have observed over this issue, it is 
difficult for us to believe that justice 
has been rendered. 1! personally can 
see no objective reason for depriving 
the university of the services of 
these two first-rate men.

The Social Credit Party protest-

“the CCF was using smear terms in 
its party propaganada.’ 

The CCF party won. 


1948

From an earlier story: “Several

been gathered by one student from 
his fellows and used to cast votes 
for one of the political parties con- 
testing the elections.’

The aac ras party with- 
drew from Model Parliament be- 


cause they disapproved of allowing 
politics on the university campus. 

One story reported: “Statements 
to The Gateway from leaders of 
the political study groups on cam- 
pus emphasized the opinion that 
the Social Credit party was dying 
a slow death and would finally dis- 
appear.” 

The Labour Progressive Party 
withdrew because it objected ia 
submitting 8 names to the Par-

Why Communism? 
Recall Charles Dicken’s 
who 

boarders a “purifier” of sulfur and 

molasses, not for medicinal pur- 

poses, but to kill their appetites? 
Similarly Canadians have been 

fed the “purifier” of anti-commun- 


and inquiry. 

Hence the majority of Canadians 
find it quite incomprehensible that 
anyone would subscribe to a com- 
munist philosophy. 

The philosophical approach to 
communism must egin wi e 
question of man’s purpose on earth. 

Though this question has been 
answered by Idealists, Theists and 
metaphysicians, communism is 
concerned for material people in a 

_ material world, for it is inescapable 
all who are born must live 
together on the material earth.

In brief, nate chould be or-

Just as in the humanized family 
wherein the children contribute

change them for money is nothing 
more than prostitution. Hence the 
ideal society cannot have a means 
of exchange per se, but must be 
based on free exchange. 

That this will take generations is 
not debated, for the concept of 
slavery, long considered “inate in 
man” has taken three thousand 
years constant polemics to bring 
most of mankind against it. 

The first steps toward this ideal

liberal party 


Why Model Parliament? 

This question arises each year: 
I would like first to explain the 
purposes of Model Parliament, and 
then state the reasons why the 
Campus Liberal Club should re- 
ceive your vote on February 11. 

Model Parliament was establish- 
ed over 50 years ago on the U of 
A campus, and has enjoyed various 
levels of success ever since. Pri- 
marily Model Parliament provides 
a forum for the expression of stu- 
dent opinion—but this does not 
mean that I am claiming that this 
é activity has any great influence. 
otas But that even the uni- 
versity a istration is ee Le 

ticularly influenced by 

ions of the SHaneabhe Members” 
However, I do not state this as a 


my 


criticism: rather, I state it to point 
out th ity of those who 
“Wwe who sit as 
members should not play “little 
boy politician’—rather we should 
sit for the Me of a group 
activity that at one time involves 
65 members iy the student popul- 
ation. 


ee Model ee exists to 
entertain—have you r sat in on 
one of the inl A pete Ne I would 
strongly urge you to do so this 
year. Believe me, there are some 
very “stimulating” debates! 


The Campus Liberal Club has, 
for the past seven bent formed the 
government in Mo Parliament. 
This is due, in part mn least, to the 
fact that we have always n, and 
are once Aoi this year, the best 
organized gr on campus. Our 

policies are apell researched state- 
ies: of principle covering every 
area of major concern to university 
students. A partial list includes 
the following: ; 


@®a proposal for extensive re- 
forms to our penal system, includ- 
ing the abolition of the death 
penalty, 


®a proposal to increase funds 
available for re-training of workers 
replaced by automation, 


®@the capcierce vost of the distribu- 
tion of habit forming drugs, pat- 
terned after ees eee successful 
British system, 


@the increase in tax exempt in- 
come for university students to a 
level of $1,800 a year, 


@the legalization of abortions in 
certain specified cases, 


@steps to reduce the cost of 
automobile igo Senin which would 
a government operated 
plan if such was ecbesnel to attain 
the desired end,

NESP is a student party founded 
on the premise that the Canadian 
Government is becoming bogged 
down with unchanging and un-

Though this country has four 
active political parties, the pre- 
sence of left wing versus right 
wing attitudes obliterates the value 
of the system of government. 

In essence, the existing political 
parties cannot achieve efficient 
government because they are either 
blind to this shortcoming or so 
depleted with apathy _ toward 
change: as to neglect their short- 
comings. : 

Student political parties are even 
more deeply entrenched in this 
‘static rut. .Those groups on cam-

new democratic party 


The New Democratic Party has 
as its basic philosophy the re- 
cognition of the dignity of the 
human being, respect for moral and 
cultural values, belief in equality 
without regard to race, creed or 
color, a deep desire to foster 
mutual trust among all peoples, and 
a will to promote peace, prosperity, 
and progress for all peoples of the 
world. 


The real and most menacing 
threat to peace and stability lies 
in the dire poverty of the majority 
of the human race. The glaring 
contrasts. between wealth and 
poverty must be eliminated and 
we, as Canadians, must accept our 
Tesponsibilities by making a sub- 
stantial, rather than a token, con- 


tribution to the task of raising the 
living standard of those who live 
outside the affluent society, - 
home as well as abroad. 


To this end a New Democrat 
Government will reduce defense 
expenditures, pa eee foreign aid, 
and place ration of 
Canadian roreigk aid in the hands 
of the United Nations. 


On the domestic front, it is al- 
together too apparent that the

hazards of i ess, ol

It might of course have been the

Ps by inrich Schutz an 
these probably best illustrated the 
Choir’s clarity of diction and pur- 
ity of voices. 

By the latter I mean the well 
defined division of Soprano to 
Alto to Tenor, etc. While the 
blending of these voices was com- 
plete, one could nevertheless at 

times discern the individual 
groups of voices. 

ere was no fuzziness or over- 
lapping but ee an orchestra a 
one-ness (which does not lose 
sight of the individual groups of 
eee) was obtained. 


“Subilate te Deo” by Giovanni 
Gabrieli on the other hand did 
not fare as well. If a clarity, yeta 
blending is part of a choir’s aim; 
the “Jubilate” fell somewhat 
short. 


The Organ and Brass ensemble 
while good in itself, never man- 
aged the proper balance with the 
chorus and since the equal and 
interchangeable use of voices and 
instruments was the composer’s 
ped effect, some sort of dy- 

ance of voice-instru- 

Peat should have been attained. 
tead the instruments were 
able to drown out the chorus, and 
us in the choral parts the aud- 
ience suddenly realized the 
orus as one isolated voice, pro- 
ducing an effect of discontinuity. 

The idea of the brass as accom- 


is a valid one. If well done 
it ie wonderfully to the effect 
of the voices and produces in fact 


a musical form of its own; how- 


ever, if the product is a massive 
blast of sound without the dis- 
tinctive episode phrasing it is 
hardly worth-while. 

Likewise the organ should be a 
prime instrument for choral ac- 
companiment. : 

However when a decrepit and 
voiceless instrument like the one 
in the Jubilee is all one has, per- 
haps the piano should serve as 
well. (A pity some of the crystal 
accessories in the _ hallways 
couldn’t be faded for a decent 
organ). 

e @ 

A put of short choral works 
were next on the program and 
quite delightful. The chorus has 
some very fine voices, and exten- 
sive preparation and work pro- 
duced an effect one just couldn’t 
criticize. 

Two French Canadian Folk- 
songs, “The Uist Tramping Song”, 
“Jigs For Voices”, and “The Swazi 

arrior” were particularly not- 
able. 

The “Jig For Voices” by Alec 
Rowley is just that, a trick in 
which the individual voices are 
displaced, mingled and mashed. 
There was only a minor lacking 
of the required strict time and an 
pm apaien loss of clarity. 

- wazi Warrior” by Thom- 
as Wood, a product it seems of the 
Zulu war (the piece, No Wood),

ence. It illustrates the variety of

The characterization of Othello 
presents a great challenge to even 
the best actors. Sir Laurence Oli- 
vier has met the challenge with an 
interpretation of the roll which, 
in twentieth-century theatre at 
least, possesses a certain novelty 
and a great deal of daring. 

The paucity of textual evidence 
makes it impossible to prove 
the validity of his interpretation. 
But such evidence does not 
guarantee a successful perform- 
ance 

Olivier’s performance is fre- 
quently both painful and uncon- 
vincin 

The production begins on an 
unpromising note. However, one 
can easily overlook the modern 
critic’s preoccupation with sexual 
perversions in  Shakespeare’s 
characters (manifested in the ex- 
changes between Iago and Rod- 
erigo). 

Indeed one does overlook this 
as soon as Olivier begins to speak. 
He has complete mastery over his 
exceptionally flexible voice and 
the controlled power of his deliv- 
ery infuses Othello’s first lines 
with a compelling beauty. 

Olivier has decided to present 
an almost grossly sensual Othello. 
Well and good. But the inter- 
pretation must be presented con- 
sistently throughout the play. 

livier does not do this. Conse- 
quently, many of his sensual ges- 
tures are either startling or an- 


moving. 
example, although his 
arbre could be made very ef- 
fective, all too often it seems to 
spout in a rather unbelievable 
manner from an Othello who only 
moments before was restrained 
rae ey 
he at that Olivier employs 
fon this role is evidently chosen to 
convey the impression of sensual- 
ity. Instead, it destroys the char- 
acterization, for it is far more 
mechanical than sensual. An 
Othello who walks with the pre- 
cision of a robot is not convincing.

AND THEN ALL THE GLASS FIXTURES IN THE 
JUBILEE AUDITORIUM SHATTERED .. .—The U of A 
Mixed Chorus performed last Thursday, Friday and Saturday 


So huge is the mixed chorus that 


we contented ourselves with a cross-section; unfortunately we 


didn’t get a Mixed cross-section. 


Also unmixed was the 


audience’s reaction: enthusiastic superlatives were the rule

strained shrieks makes the listen- 
er wince. 
These shrieks accompanied by 


huge, air-flaying gestures can 
leave one so overcome with 
physical. repugnance at the 


screenful of thrashing Olivier that 
the action loses all significance. 
They certainly left me with a 
wistful desire for the preserva- 
tion of some aesthetic distance. 
In some ways the production 
was rewarding. Olivier’s per- 
formance broadens the viewer’s 
insight into’ the play, I think, and 
the roles of Desdemona and Iago 
were exceptionally well-played. 
But the performance was un- 
doubtedly marred by Olivier’s 
excesses.

I grow more and more convinc- 
ed that the Yardbird Suite has 
discovered the right approach for 
presenting minority entertain- 
ment to Edmonton audiences. 

One makes one’s way along 
Whyte Avenue, crosses the rail- 
road tracks, turns south on 102nd 
St. and proceeds down a dimly-lit 
block. On the south-east corner 
of the intersection one eae an 
unspectacular building with 
colored windows. Nebuals one 
enters. 

It’s just as dark inside, and a 
sepulchral-looking person (every- 
one looks sepulchral in that light) 
smiles evily and takes one’s $1.50. 
Almost dead with fright, one 
totters into a corridor leading to 


the stage. 
Unless one is familiar with the 
Walterdale Playhouse . (another 


atmosphere-laden microcosm, this 
year unfortunately presenting 
rather a dull season) one may be 
unprepared for the smallness of 
the Yardbird’s stage. But the

bers of the audience.

Appreciation, not judgment, is 
the primary aesthetic act. And 
it is appreciation rather than 
judgment that Suite’s ap- 
parently rather shabby design 
craftily encourages. 

Last weekend, for instance, Mr. 
Carl Lotsberg played his guitar 
both solo and in accompaniment 
to Harlan Green, Edmonton’s 
foremost flautist 

Now Mr. Lieber was not at 
his ease, made rather a mess of 
his first two numbers, and tended 
to do strange things throughout 
the evening. How we would have 
winced had be been in Con Hall! 

But it is hard to hold a grudge 


of the situation makes 
brutality almost unthinkable. 

So one makes allowances, sits 
back, and enjoys. 

Not that we might not have 
been more annoyed had the pro- 
gram not offered us other, less 
flawed performances. But there 
was Harlan Green, delightfully; 
and there was Henry Kreisel. 

Dr. Kreisel read Oscar Wilde’s 


“Ballard of Reading Gaol” and 


Reno story “The Trav elling

“The Travelling Nude” is an 
extremely amusing story, which 
Dr. Kreisel milks for all it is

underground 


The Jeunesses Musicales du 
Canada have again the Edmonton 
cultural turret with a shaft of 
light, this time in the form of a 
boys’ choir, Less Petis Chanteurs 
de Montreal. 

I have very pavers mislaid by 
program, an ave even more 
cleverly forgotten ike: names of 
the director of the choir, and the 
names of most of the works on 
the program. 

I must therefore content myself 
(and you) with saying that the 
program was made up entirely of 
sacred and secular works of the 
16th century. The list of the 

composers sung was impressive: 
Palestrina, Victoria, Orlando di 
Lasso, Morley and Wilbye; and 
all of their music was on a con- 
sistently high plane. 

The chorus sang their reper- 
toire with a great deal of spirit, 
and, for the most part, with ade- 
quate technical efficiency. 

Any exhaustive examination of 
the merits of the performance 
would be both bootless and bor- 
ing, so I will press on to more 
important issues (and ones which 
require less detailed information): 
to wit—has music of this kind a 


why not; and what can be done 
to remedy the evils of the situ- 
ation, (if any)? 

To Peta: ‘with, it is quite ob- 
vious that 16th-century music has 
not the same sort of appeal as, 
says, Tchaikovsky; it is a much 
more controlled form of music: 
beautifully integrated, polished, 
almost mathematical in its pre- 
cision. 


But this is not to say that there 
is any restriction on the range of 
feeling expresse 

e contrast between a Pale- 
strina mass and a Morley mad- 
rigal could hardly be more pro-

“Sansho Dayu”, shown Jan. 24 
by the Edmonton Film Society, is 
the filmatic interpretation of a 
medieval Japanese legend, dir- 
ector Mizoguchi announces at the 
outset. The film is beautiful. It 
is historically convincing. But it 

fails unfortunately to cast the epic 
“timeless” mood essential to the 
ae 

The story is of a mother and 
two children who journey to re- 
join their father, a nobleman who 

s been exiled years before be- 
cause of his aid to the peasants. 

nm the way they are separated 
and sold into slavery; the mother 
becomes a courtesan, the children 
are taken to byes for the cruel 
bailiff Shanch 

After long feat they escape. 
The daughter commits suicide, 
and the son finds his way to the 
position of governor of the state, 
whereupon he frees all slaves. 
Finally, he seeks and finds his 
aged mother. 

This string of events achieves 
moral significance since each— 
exile, journey, escape, governor- 
ship and ultimate reunion—is in- 


stigated by some form of mercy. 
ese events are to be 


create the mood of the legend. 
Black-and-white moralizing,

for epic events and vast time

the sacesored see-sawing be

Despite this, much remains to 
commend the film. 

Most effective are the scenes in 
which Mizoguchi relates man to 
his natural surroundings. Care- 
ful composition and lighting make 
the shots of people among trees, 
in fields, by the sea ineffably 
beautiful. 

The same scenes serve two 
other purposes. As has been men- 
tioned, they help create the 
necessary legendary tone. More- 
over, they express symbolically 
the theme of the film—the op-

the artist 


Much has been said in these 
columns a 
collections, ’ 
about art exhibits, but too little 
has been said about artists. 

What is an artist? One is 
ae oedioely reminded of all the 

erly catch-phrases—the 
Seraatreted” artist, the “misunder- 
stood” artist, and not infrequently, 
the “mad” artist. The last is 
probably the most viable; at least 
it is the most interesting. 

For the artist is in a sense a 
madman, by virtue of what may 
be termed a shifting Leite)! 

By this is meant simply that 
artist is able to identify, and in 


environment. K 
true ae (artist) really has no 
ident: He is an elaborate and 
celta composite of all environ- 
mental influences. 

“Gulliver’s Travels”, I think, is 
probably the most astute descrip- 
tion of the artistic sensibility. 
For, like Gulliver, the artist is 
very much a mariner—alternately 
tormented and tranquilized on 
seas of consciousness, often tossed 
up on foreign shores where he 
finds himself at odds with his own 
immensity or with his own 
minuteness. 

And ate, does the artists react? 
Like Guilliver, of course, he tries 
to break the chains that Lilli- 
putian minds impose on him, and 
sees himself as a. veritable 
colossus in relation to them; or 
struggles in the grip of Brob- 
dingnagian grossness, which is 
more than his tiny frame can 


andle. 
One could elaborate upon 
Gulliver-artist encountering the 


Yahoos, the Hou and the 
Laputians until the pattern 
emerges. The artist adapts, 


yields, explores, integrates, but 
ultimately turns away, retreats to 
the stable—venerable birthing 
place—to commune with his 

horses, his energies. 
And there, in a Swiftshell, is a 

portrait of the artist.

In day’s opener, the Pan- 
das trounced the weak University 
of Manitoba Bisonette team 58-29. 

e game was ‘slow for the first 
half on both the scoring and play 
ends. At the start of the second 
half the Pandas ‘pressed’ in to 
break the Bisonettes. Bisonettes’ 
Bonnie Gabbs outshone the rest of 
her teammates who couldn’t seem 
to get rebounds. 

op Panda scorers, Donna Bryks 
and Cathy Galusha, chalked vet nal 
points each. 

The Dinnie-Huskiette game the 
same day proved closer as the C. 
gary girls narrowly squeaked a 6 
point edge to take ‘the game 46-40. 

e score was even tighter at the 
half with Calgary ahead 22-21. 
Teresa Sekura, Shirley Smurchyk,

their victory.

U of A grants 
tripled by 
federal gov't 


The University of Alberta and 
affiliated institutions will receive 
more than $7.5 million from the 
federal government this year. 

The grants are made according 
to the Raoisticd of each province, 
and according to the number of 
out-of-province students at each 
university. Under the plan, the 
Alberta grant works out to $4.78 
per capita. 

Because of the out-of-province 
student regulation, some of the 
eastern universities, notably in the 
pis iota will receive more than 
$5 per capita.

of A was over two and a half

Inspired UAC team shatters 
Bears’ hopes of WCIAA title 


By DAVE WRIGHT 


An inspired University of Alberta 
Calgary basketball team shattered 
Golden Bear hopes of hosting the 
Canadian National Championships. 

A bitterly disappointed Edmon- 
ton team returned home Saturday 
night after receiving its second 
straight setback at the hands of the 
Dinosaurs. Friday the Bears fell 
106 to 89 and Saturday 98 to 87. 

Friday’s game was marred by 

ough play and inept officiating, 
gercedine to Bear coach, Jim 
ro. 

Enraged at the Calgary tactics, 
Jim Munro singled out Hans 
Schamp’s faked submarining or un- 
dercutting of Alberta’s star guard, 
Darwin Semotiuk, as a dangerous 
and bushleague stunt. 

An impromptu meeting of coaches 
from both teams er Friday’s 
game apparently worked out the 
problems, for Saturday’s game was 
comparatively unevent: 

: Bears took control during 
the opening minutes Friday but 
Galea: lead by Robin Fry’s seven 


straight points, tied it up at nine 
all midway through the first quart- 
er. 

Numerous errors were made by 
both teams as the Golden Bears 
were running a fast break offence 
and Calgary a zone press defence. 

Calgary edged out a narrow lead 
as time and again Bear marksmen 
had baskets nullified by the south- 
ern referees. 

The half time 60 to 49 score for 
Calgary wasn’t indicative of the 
game pla. 

Outstanding long-jump shooting 
by Darwin Semotiuk and the dead- 
eye accuracy of forward Barry 
Mitchelson kept the Bears in the 
game as Calgary seemed to have 
seven men on the floor at a time.

Coach Munro got a technical foul 
when he voiced his opinion of Dr.

McMaster loses med school 


ILTON—McMaster will not get its Medical School. 

In an eleventh-hour press conference Thursday night, 
Ontario premier John Robarts said the money for the school 
was being withdrawn to help pay for the province’s medicare 

st 


plan. 

He said: “The McMaster school would have cost too much 
money, especially since we would have to pay off the Dept. of 
Highways to reroute King Street 

“We have decided to build a school at Brock University 
where we won’t have to cope with angry residents,” the 
premier said. 

Asked if the switch was caused by the hard time Hamilton 
City Council gave the proposal, Mr. Robarts replied, “Since 
when were provincial government decisions affected by city 
councils?” 

(In October 1964, the province announced a $24 million grant 
to McMaster University to establish a Medical School and a 
360-bed hospital. The school was to be completed by 1968.) 

University president H. G. Thode, visibly shaken, said, “This 
is a great disappointment.” 

The dean of medicine, J. R. Eavens, said, “I never, thought 
the province would cut the funds for the school. I was just 
getting the operation rolling.

All-Indian panel 


deplores injustice 


By MAUREEN LOVE 

“Canada’s judicial system stinks”, 
the treasurer of National Indian 
Council, Al Jacobs, told a Canadian 
Native Week audience Friday. 

“Indians alone have often felt 
the injustice of federal, provincial 
and local laws,’ said an Indian 


court worker who was a member 
of an all-Indian panel on Laws, 


. Courts and Discrimination. 


For example, lands belonsuing to 
the Indians in Kenora, Ontario, 

ave been sold in violation of the 
treaties, said Duke Redbird, vice- 
president of National Indian coun- 
cil of Canada. The federal govern- 
ment told the Indian unions. that

cree is not allowed on the 
Indian reserves, an Indians are 
not wanted in bars, he said. There- 
fore, Indians are forced to drink in 
alley and parks. When picked up, 
Indians are placed in jail from 10- 
30 days. This is an mute affect- 
ing only Indians, id. 

Indians are the ne of much 
police brutality, said Mr. Jacobs. 


Indian resident of ers agree 
ae Lake district told of in- 
cident in which a constable Anoke 
into an Indian home in Lesser Slave 
Lake without a search warrant and 
was inastnn up. The next day, four 


Indians who were involved were 
Ane ints custody. When in 
custody, ey were taken from 


constable, who with another official 
held the Indians, the 
Indian charged. 


These Indians were then chained 
together and made to run for the 
us which was to ean them to 
Edmonton oe trial. A car is 
hehe’ employed for this service,

An argument started when a 
women in the audience tried to 
defend the actions of the constable. 
The women stated the constable 
was in search of an Indian he had 
arrested. An Indian asked, “But 
can anyone barge i 
man’s home without a search 
warrant?’ 


The women continued her de- 
fence y stating the car usually 

sed for eaten s 

orking as_ it too cold. 
Generel laughter ashe when the 
man replied, “Yes, you know how 
cold it would be in June”. 

The moderator, Miles Murray, 
changed the subject by stating, 
“This is not a court of law for the 
defence or prosecution of the 
constable”, 


makes political decisions for poli- 
tical reasons,” said Prof. Green. 
The fundamental issue of mode 
politics is living together in a con: 
cept of one world, he said. 
Speaking on international law 
Prof. Green said there has been 
change in the balance of member: 
ship in the General Assembly. Thi 
balance of 1945 was essentially on 
of European orientation with snip: 
ings from Latin America. Toda 
the orientation is Afro-Asian. 
“The international law no 
preached is the law of establishe 
European societies, law of a by 
gone age, law of nineteenth biotin 
tru 


nation,” Prof. Green said. 

Any system of law is an expres 
sion of the environment in whic 
it operates and since it is intende: 
to preserve order it must represen 
the best interests of the societ 
which it serves, he said.

Assembly.
